Sleigh Ride in Trowbridge Park Neighborhood
Bob Halstead (WHS47) sent me this photo asking for help in idenifying some of the kids involved in the circa 1950 sleigh ride in a bobsled. Bob’s grandfather L. J. Sheldon drove the team and two of Bob’s siblings were in the photo. The photo was taken in front of Gordon Engel’s house on 2nd St NE, Waseca, adjacent to Trowbridge Park.
Some of the kids have been identified on the photo and I’ve included my best guesses for the others: (L to R) unidentified, Judy Hackett, L. J. Sheldon, Tom Engel, Susan Hackett, Alan Halstead, Ardyce Halstead, Larry Olson, Betty Engel, Carol ‘Cookie’ Olson, Mary Kaye McLoone (peeking through), Dale Lucas, Jim Geraghty, Jerry McLoone, Dick Loomer, Mike McLoone, John McLoone - but I could be wrong.
Among those of that era conspicuously missing from this neighborhood picture were Don and Judy Loomer, Chuck and Jane Lucas, Margo McLoone, Susan Engel, Tom and Jerry Geraghty. One of these is probably the unidentified person on the left in the photo.
If you have better guesses or other guesses, make a comment – or just make a comment.
Bob Halstead revised the identifications on the photo. I’ve posted it above.
